Also nice to see Santa Claus take some time out of his busy schedual to enjoy a night at the cricket and sign a few autographs for the kids.

Also on Dan Smith. Has he ever been seen together with Jeff Truman?

Has Henriques ever actually done ANYTHING in any form of cricket ever?

Every game I watch he gets out cheaply and generally goes for plenty of runs when bowling

Know exactly what you mean Danish.

Started the season well, but that's basically the peak of his career.

Watch him find his way into an International side in the next 2-3 years.

Averaging 70 with the bat and about 15 with the ball this Shield season.

But hey, Cutting's better than Hazlewood isn't he Big Pete, based purely on Stats?

On the BBL in general, the Sixers are f**ked. Starc & Hazlewood were the Stars, and with them out, they're busted.

Most overrated player in Australia. Will always go for 15+ runs an over with the ball. The only game I have seen him go well in was the BB final last year with the bat, but his bowling went for plenty in that game.

Almost a decade after retiring from first-class cricket, spinner Brad Young is in the frame to make his KFC Twenty20 Big Bash League debut with Adelaide Strikers.

Young, who played six one-day internationals for Australia in 1998-99, has been named in the Strikers' 13-man squad to host Sydney Sixers in Adelaide on Sunday.

Just two months shy of his 40th birthday, Young has replaced paceman Gary Putland.

Young's first-class career finished in 2003 and the left-arm tweaker wasn't even playing in Adelaide's grade ranks when signed by Strikers coach Darren Berry.

Young was playing in the Adelaide Turf competition when given the final spot on the Strikers' roster, with Berry encouraged by the spinner's training form.

"Better than we expected, to be perfectly honest," Berry said on Saturday of Young's return.

"Throughout the trials we were undecided between he and Mark Higgs, and Young took the prize.

"If we play three spinners, I have got no hesitation that he will do a job.

"He is still fit, he can still whack it a little bit too with the bat in the lower order.

"And he is one of those left-arm orthodox spinners not dissimilar to an Aaron O'Brien that bowls at the base of the stumps and uses his pace quite well.

"He will play in this tournament."

Young was summoned at the expense of Putland, rested with what Berry termed "general soreness".

"He (Putland) has had a fairly big workload leading into the Big Bash," Berry said.

"He has got a few niggles, nothing that will keep him out for too long.
